This project was born in 2018 from the idea of two students from Siena, Italy. Our mission is to create a mobile application to help users discover historical and cultural places of interest in their vicinity and to provide brief information about them.

Nice Places is available as Android app and as a progressive web app in both Italian and English.

In 2022, the project became open source to allow anyone to contribute.
